One of the advantages of having a mentor that you follow through newsletters, blogs and websites is that it doesn´t cost you alot of your money. For example, as I watch Ali Brown send out her emails, I can learn from a woman who is well on her way to an 8-figure income. You´ll notice a new layout for my newsletters coming in September. I learned that layout from Ali. As I watch Joyce Meyer on television and see how she advertises on her videos and uses technology, I am learning.

There is a lot to be learned from mentors just by observing. If they are successful at what they do, and I highly recommend that you find people who are experts in their field, then you can learn by watching and copying.

Children learn everything in life from imitating and mimicking. It´s a great idea if you want to learn quickly and make fewer mistakes. Learning is a lifelong journey, especially as an entrepreneur, and observation is one of the easiest ways to learn without it costing you a fortune.

Many people think that they need to know their mentor personally. That is not necessarily true. I´ve met Ellie Drake but I have never met Joyce Meyers or Ali Brown personally. However, I still look to them as mentors.

How does that work? As I watch how people run their businesses, do something I want to emulate or have a style that I particularly like, I will choose them as a mentor. I may then get to know them through their books, workshops, teleclasses or newsletters. I watch Joyce on her website as she speaks to large audiences and learn from how she teaches. I am attending the RISE event with Ellie October 2/3 where I am sure I will learn alot about how Ellie came into the US as an immigrant and became a millionaire through network marketing. I read their materials and study their habits. Even though I haven´t met many of my mentors, they can still have a positive impact on my life.

Pick someone who you really admire for one or more reasons. Then learn more about them through the internet, their course materials or through their newsletters. Start to apply what they are doing to create their amazing life in your life. It´s really that simple. However, it is very, very effective!

Do you have a mentor or mentors in your life? A mentor is someone who you look to for guidance and direction. I have several mentors that have never met me personally and others that I have built a personal relationship with over the years.

The importance of a mentor in creating your amazing life is to have someone who is doing what you want to do. They can be the forerunner for you in a certain aspect. It´s unlikely that any ONE person will be everything you want to be in EVERY aspect of their life but there are usually areas where they are a great role model.

For example, I love what Ellie Drake is doing with building a woman´s community focused on making a massive difference in the world. She´s a great mentor for women. Ali Brown is my mentor for creating a multiple seven-figure income online. She is brilliant at what she does and it shows!Joyce Meyer is a great mentor for ministry as she fills auditoriums around the world, has over 70 books in print and is a dynamic teacher.

These are just a few of my mentors. I could go on and on about my mentors and how they have helped me take my life to the next level. But we´ll save that for future posts. In the meantime, ask yourself, who do I have in my life that is helping me to create my amazing life in every aspect?

Part of creating my amazing life has been because of the amazing people that I surround myself with. Peter Comrie has been a dear friend and mentor for some years now. He is the impetus behind a daily blog called The Wealthy Attitude. Peter´s no-nonsense approach to life has been the glue that has at times held me together through a crisis but also inspires and motivates his thousands of readers daily.

Today he sent a video as he does every Friday. I watched it and was deeply moved by it. I wanted to share it with you because if every person on the planet watched this video, we would have a very different world.

Perhaps I was moved because I just got back from a very early hike through the beautiful hills of Sedona with my massage therapist friend, Beverly, who is a magnificent healer and human being. Maybe because it was so incredibly beautiful this morning as the sun was rising over the red rocks of one of the most spectacular places in the world. It could be because I am about to launch one of the most significiant projects of my career. I don´t know. But I do know that it is time to step up to the plate and say YES to my contribution to healing this planet.

I wonder what you will feel once you have watched this video. Grab a cup of tea and spend 10 minutes with this one and then let me know what you felt.

Have a most amazing weekend!
